Just wondering, with the implementation of patch 5.1 today, if anyone has been able to get a Battle Stone to drop? I have been doing nothing but pet battles since the servers went up, and am beginning to question what the drop rates were.

(On a side note, I wanted to be sure I was doing it correctly, I watched a few videos and read a couple articles that said the stones were acquired by defeating wild pets in pet battles. I just want to be sure this is the case, and not something strange like from killing them with your toons and one randomly drops a stone).

I had saved up 111 Bags and was able to get about 10 blue battle stones for varies families. I have not battles wild pets yet.

Silly question, but what about the uncommon stones? I have looked at every possible vendor I can think of and have not been able to find them. I am Justice capped and just want to spend my points on something. : /

Edit : Never mind. I'm retarded. Carry on.

I was very pleased after holding on to all my pet bags I got from before the patch (Although I did peak into them to make sure there were no Porcupettes). Ended up with Beast, Critter, and Humanoid stones. Although it took me awhile to figure out how to use them. Tried to use them on the Pet Journal, but realized that you have to summon the pet and use it on it then.

My Baby Blizzard Bear and Wolpertinger are very happy to have been upgraded. Not sure what I'm going to use the Humanoid stone on yet...

Imthedci,May I suggest using it as a cheater way to get the breed ID that you want from either a Flayer Youngling or Sporeling Sprout?

Given that they have 10 potential stat combinations you could use a humanoid flawless stone as an easy way to get the exact stats you want without having to farm them for a rare combo'd with your stats of choice.

Other than that I would suggest the children's week Wolvar or Oracle pets.

Question: I need undead stone more than anything( need 3 of em).How would it be most efficient to farm em?Killing trainers daily or killing undead wilds?And if killing wilds is effective, is it equally efficient to go around killing the level 3 undeads in tirisfal glades as killing level 12s in EPL?(If the levels of the pets I use to farm are close to the level of the pet I'm killing)

I think I can answer this question atleast, from the trainers you have a 8-12% (rough numbers, dont put too much faith in them) chance of getting any stone. You may end up doing dailies for months without seeing any undead stones. Killing undead wilds however, will not give you any other stones than just the one you need, however at a much lower rate. I guess it depends, if you have time, do both. Do the dailies, and if you got spare time, go kill undeads. This early, most people could use more than just one type of stone, so trainers would be my choice.

There is one rare one just called flawless battle stone that is supposed to be boe, but that is it. The rest (type specific ones) are all bop. I am not sure if the boe one can come from randomly battling pets or not, it might be bag only.
